Back in the olden days of TGD history we had Play to Win games as part of the convention. As we did more Tours, we phased out Play to Win. But we love to give people options, so this year, Play to Win is back.

What is it? At it's basic core -- you (1) play a game from the Play to Win selection, (2) have fun doing it, (3) for playing it, you get your name entered into a drawing at the end of the weekend - and then (4) maybe win that game and take it home with you! Sound pretty sweet? You bet.

We are launching a TGD Convention Slack. Slack is a messaging platform / collaboration tool. With it, you can try and find people for a game during the weekend, schedule a game, find a trading partner you're looking for, etc.

Starting to plan your Tennessee Game Days weekend? Well, you can take another step forward by looking at some of the things that we have planned for the event. Our schedule is live and can be viewed here. Tour sign ups are also available at that link.

Just an update on registration - we are having a problem that may delay opening registration today. We hope to have it resolved quickly, but at this point we're not sure how long the fix will take. Thanks for your patience.

We will be gathering together to play games and raise money for the Monroe Carrel Jr Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt this weekend, November 4th at noon until November 5th at noon. The 25(!) hour marathon is happening at the Tech Hill Commons in Nashville. $5 ticket gets you into the event as well as door prize entries, snacks and waters. Lots of neat perks for raising $150 or more. Check out more details here: https://goo.gl/oZaC7S

TGD Nation - sorry we have been silent on the blog for a while. Our excuse? We've been working hard on a new project for us - Game Point a Board Game Cafe. Since TGD's close, we have been planning and executing a board game cafe for Nashville. We'll have over 300 board games, tasty snacks and drinks, a retail component and more!

We open our doors this Thursday, October 26th at 5 pm. Make plans to come visit us soon and play a game or two, or just have a drink in a fun and cool location!

Expect TGD info to ramp up as this gets off the ground - registration will open on November 15th!
